Yield advantage of maize and artemisia intercrops in a sub-humid ecozone of western Keny
(Shamokal Publications, 2012)see more details of the most beneficial system component. The experiment was carried out between 2009 and 2010 in two consecutive seasons. 8 treatments were laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) design with ... -
Yield and Yield Stability of Four Population Types of Grain Sorghum in a Semi‐Arid Area of Kenya
(Crop Breeding, Genetics & Cytology, 2000-03-01)Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is widely grown in semi‐arid tropics where local farmers depend on the adaptability of their rainfed crops to unpredictable drought and other stress factors. To investigate the effects ... -
Yield improvement of Kenyan sesame varieties
(University of Nairobi, 2001)In an effort to improve the yield of Kenyan sesame cultivars the seeds of three cultivars, SPS SIK6, SIK 096 and SPS SIK 50/1 were subjected to 300Gy, 400Gy and 600Gy of gamma rays. A first batch of seeds were subjected ... -
Yield of three commercial watermelon cultivars in Kenya as compared to a local landrace
(African Journal of Horticultural Science, 2010)High yield is a major goal for watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) breeders. The objective of this study was to measure the yield potential of some watermelon accessions available in Kenya and identify high yielding ones for ... -
Yield response of tea clone 6/8 to growing environments, nitrogenous fertiliser application and plucking intervals in East Africa.
(Inter-University Council for East Africa Lake Victoria Research Initiative, 2011)In East Africa, tea growing areas fall in several agro-ecological regions, differing widely in elevation and climatic factors. Despite the differences, agronomic inputs are uniform throughout the region. Clone TRFK 6/8 is ... -
Yields and Nitrogenous Fertiliser Use Efficiency Responses of Clonal Tea (Camellia Sinensis) to Locations of Production
(International Journal of Tea Science Vol 13, No. 1&2 (2017) : 32-40, 2017)Tea husbandry practices in Kenya are uniform despite variations in responses to agronomic inputs with locations. Nitrogen availability is the most limiting tea/crop growth factor. However, tea yields vary with region of ... -
Young Adults in Endemic Areas: An Untreated Group in Need of School-Based Preventive Chemotherapy for Schistosomiasis Control and Elimination
(Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2018)Parasitologic surveys of young adults in college and university settings are not commonly done, even in areas known to be endemic for schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminths. We have done a survey of 291 students ... -

Zinc bioavailability and elution rate from zinc fortified water produced by the Lifestraw® Family Filter
(Wageningen University/London, 2016)Introduction: Zinc deficiency is a major public health problem in many developing countries. Zn fortification of foods may have limited impact because Zn bioavailability from staple foods is generally low. Fortification ... -
Zinc Levels in Raw and Blanched Slenderleaf sp.(Crotalaria ochroleuca & Crotalaria brevidens) Indigenous Vegetables
(Scientific Research Publishing Inc., 2019)An estimated 20% of the world’s population is at risk for zinc (Zn) deficiency. Micronutrient deficiencies are most prevalent in Africa and remain a major problem facing poor populations, whose impact is worsened by ... -
α+-Thalassemia Protects against Anemia Associated with Asymptomatic Malaria: Evidence from Community-Based Surveys in Tanzania and Kenya
(The University of Chicago Press, 2008-08-01)Background. In hospital-based studies, α+-thalassemia has been found to protect against severe, life-threatening falciparum malaria. α+-Thalassemia does not seem to prevent infection or high parasite densities but rather ... -
α-Amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitors from Zanthoxylum chalybeum Engl. root bark
(Elsevier, 2020-10-01)A systematic analysis of the root bark of Zanthoxylum chalybeum was conducted to establish the antidiabetic potential of isolated compounds based on its ethnomedicinal use to manage diabetes. Chromatographic separation of ... -
δ13 values of the Centrospermeae species and their ecological implications in the semi arid conditions
